Register of Benchmark Committee Members

GFSI holds a Register of Benchmark Committee Members, who may be invited to become a member of a GFSI Benchmark Committee upon receipt of a scheme application. The Register of Benchmark Committee Members is made up of representatives from retailers, suppliers or food service companies who have knowledge and expertise in the application of GFSI recognised schemes. Participation as a GFSI Benchmark Committee Members is done on a voluntary basis, so GFSI is extremely grateful for the support of the following industry members whose expertise supports the GFSI Benchmarking Process.

The success of the GFSI is due to the primarily to the collaboration and involvement of member companies and stakeholders. With the development of the GFSI Guidance Document Sixth Edition and the extension of scope to cover the whole of the food and feed supply chain and other associated activities, GFSI will require a cohort of experts to ensure that the benchmark process is undertaken in a professional and impartial manner.

GFSI is therefore asking interested parties to put forward experts to become members of the GFSI Benchmark Committee, who will play a key role in establishing the recognition of food safety schemes by GFSI.
